Bubbles, Bubbles, BUBBLES!

The bubbles are coming, the bubbles are coming!!!

Sometimes, the simplest things are the best.
Bubbles are a prime example! 

Much like dancing and good music, 
if you need to turn the mood or the day around... 
bubbles tend to do the trick!
They are fun to chase, fun to pop, fun to blow...
Children of ALL ages seem to LOVE them!
We blow our bubbles everywhere...

Inside (a little extra soap on the carpet never hurts, 
especially when you run the carpet cleaner frequently)

Outside- in all seasons bubbles are BIG fun!
In the winter snow, you can really see all of the colors in the bubbles as the light hits them... 
AND if it is cold enough, the bubbles freeze and shatter like glass when you pop them!

EVEN... in the car!!!
I like to keep a small container of bubbles in the car for those long rides. 
They are a great way to keep infants, toddlers, and travel weary children entertained!




There are so many fun things you can use to blow bubbles, here are a few:
Potato Mashers
Hat Driers
Plastic Berry Baskets
Straws
Pipe Cleaners
Onion Bags



We usually make our own bubbles, 
but when I see a good clearance sale I do buy some from the store!

Have you been blowing bubbles lately?
What are your favorite ways to blow bubbles/items to use?

A Few Ideas With Marker Caps (As Promised)

By
Yesterday, I hope I convinced you not to throw away your markers that "don't work." Today, I will share with you a few ideas for what to do with all of the caps. The possibilities are nearly endless, but here are a few of our recent creations: 1) A Leprechaun/Fairy Ladder/Rope Ladder: 2) #1 if not permanently secured can also double as a rope bridge: 3) #1/#2 can also be made into a train track for your homemade trains :). (No photo available) 4) You can use them as beads for a necklace: 5) You could make them into a wind chime. (No photo available). 6. You can use them as small manipulatives to count, sort, and make patterns with. (No photo available). 7) You could use them as playing pieces in your own homemade board game. (No photo available). 8) You could put them on a wire and glue them in place to make a twirling whirly-gig. 9) You could top them with a lid from a milk jug to make tiny tables or toadstools. 10) You could make them...

My friend died

By
 I learned a hell of a lot from Dan Hodgins.  He was mentor, a friend, and a "bone shaker" for many of us in the field of Early Childhood Education. He was and will always be a champion for children, and protector of childhood.   I have so many great memories of time spent with him, it just doesn't seem like we had enough time. Dan died this past Saturday.  Interestingly enough, Dan and I talked about death quite a bit. It is one of those topics that isn't talked about all that much in our field, but is super important. All living things eat, all living things poop, and all living things die.  Dan and I recorded a podcast for awhile called "Shaking Bones." Dan was always shaking bones, even before I met him. To say I was honored to be asked to be his co-host would be putting it lightly. I loved recording with him. He was never afraid to touch on topics that were a bit edgy, or issues that sometimes weren't talked about much at all.  We even...
